    Vegetables with Guest Chef Jeremy Fox at Animal Restaurant - Animal, Vegetable or Mineral?

    Guest Chef Jeremy Fox did vegetables, "Animal-style." They were delicious.

    Marcona Almonds

    lavender sugar + sea salt + olive oil

    If I had paid the $70 prix fixe and received nothing but a cereal bowl full of the Lavender Sugar Almonds...it still would have been worth it.

    Crunchy French Breakfast Radishes

    soft chevre with nori + black lava salt + mustard

    Cheese with a faint smell of the ocean...I had half a mind to rub some into my shoulders like tanning cream. Or maybe I just had half a mind.

    Black Lava Salt

    It was salty.

    2x Shucked Peas in Consomme of Shells

    white chocolate + chocolate mint + macadamia

    Forono Beet Baked in Rose Geranium Salt Crust

    fuerte avocado + pickled green strawberry + pistachio

    Pickled Green Strawberry

    I did not love the pickled strawberry. Maybe because its pasty, pallid complexion with an eerie blue-green tinge looked all too familiar, okay?!

    Young Favas, Roasted Whole, Then Shucked

    salsa maro of the pods + anchovy flavor + parmesan

    "Anchovy flavor" in quotes was worrisome. And then they told us it's red miso.

    Wine: La Torre Rosso di Montalcino 2006

    Obviously.

    Heirloom Carrots Rescoldo Style, in Root Embers

    vadouvan spices + coconut labneh + parsnip = WINNER

    The first time I tasted vadouvan, I hated it. Vadouvan on Chef Fox's heirloom carrots tasted like Christmas in spring. The wine made them even better.

    Roast Celtuce Stalk & Fresh Liptauer Cheese

    ruta-kraut + pumpernickel + horseradish mustard

    The question of the night was "celtuce, rhymes with 'melt us?' or celtuce rhymes with 'sell gucci' or celtuce rhymes with wtfisceltuceotherthanawesome?!"

    Sweet Fennel & Puffed Wild Rice Krispies

    fennel bulb + page mandarin + bronze fennel

    Toasted Brioche & Sherry Creme Brulee

    fried cornbread + chocolate ganache + shiitake

    The shiitake mushrooms tasted like bacon.

      What an interesting menu. The lavender marconas look great as does most of these dishes. I too would have been icked by the muted strawberries. Red is their charm, beige is not.
